Let's learn Japanese with a native through a casual talk

-------About me
Name: Ayaka
Origin: Osaka
Japanese: Standard Japanese, Kansai dialect
Jobs: Flight Attendant (past), Yoga Instructor (active)
Hobbies: Traveling, Yoga, Photography, Walking and hiking, Cooking, Skiing, Animal lover

----------About the Lesson---------------------
The main focus will be on "Speaking."
Q. Why is speaking the main focus?
A. We want you to experience the joy of speaking Japanese through free talk. Just learning words from manga is not easy to understand what natives say in daily life. I will assist you in learning vocabulary and acquiring natural expressions by speaking with native Japanese speakers.

-----A message to the students at the end-----
I love cultural exchange and have a friendly personality. Having traveled to various countries and learning German, I understand the challenges and joys of learning a new language firsthand. This makes me happy to be able to help you learn Japanese. I look forward to the day when we can have enjoyable conversations together.

About Me

My interest in yoga began at the age of 12 when my grandmother, a yogini, introduced me to various poses. Since then, I have fallen in love with yoga. From a young age, influenced by my father—an acupuncturist and osteopath—I have always been fascinated by the body’s systems and Eastern medicine. In 2022, aspiring to become a teacher, I decided to deepen my practice and learn not only the poses but also the philosophy behind them and their effects.

During my years working varied shifts and across different time zones as a flight attendant, yoga was crucial for maintaining a healthy balance. I see yoga as a mirror for the mind. I still remember one day in class when tears spontaneously welled up during shavasana, revealing an intense release of emotions and stress. In daily life, there are many distractions that cause us to forget about ourselves and disconnect. Through yoga, I found a way to connect with my heart and see myself by synchronizing my breath and movements.

I would be happy to help you connect with yourself, feel more confident, and return to your daily life with a shining smile after my class.

Good!
-About the Class- This is a private class, personalised to support your body and mind based on your individual needs. Whether you’re looking to establish a healthy routine with weekly sessions or refine your practice with personalised pose adjustments, I will guide you with care and attention. The class is influenced by Hatha and Flow yoga. We begin with a foundational Hatha yoga practice, followed by meditation and gentle massage techniques inspired by Shiatsu to enhance relaxation and energy flow. Yoga is not just about physical movement—it is a practice that brings harmony between your body, mind, and soul. It offers a moment of stillness in a fast-paced world, allowing you to observe yourself, deepen self-awareness, and cultivate inner peace. This is not a competition—it’s a time just for you. :) I am looking forward to seeing you.

Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. Mayo
For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above. You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students. My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals. In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience. What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless! In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

My dedication to imparting the Ukrainian language to a diverse group of learners has shaped an identity, fostering a rich tapestry of experiences, skills, and qualities that make an invaluable asset in the field of education. I love seeing and participating in my students' interest in the Ukrainian language. What warms my heart the most is their curiosity about every detail and exception.
